Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
Started potting up Nepenthes species obtained from Borneo as well as some that are from TC. Also started setting TC Venus Flytrap cultivars into plugs, plus a new crop of passion flowers. All told close to 600 plants to be potted up in the next couple of weeks.

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
These things have been planted either weeks ago or yesterday but haven't been able to be on as much with weather warming up!
Planted in dirt: various tomatoes, globe artichoke, sugar loaf pineapple, a grocery store pineapple top is growing for me for the first time... yeeaaay!! Brocolli, cauliflower, beets, radishes, butter lettuce, iceberg lettuce, carrots, bell pepper, anaheim pepper and armenian cucumbers which I guess are really in the melon family but it's the only cucumber I like. Aquaponics: butter lettuce, radishes, onions, bell pepper, tomato, green been, cucumber, globe artichoke, broccoli, strawberries and one small juniper. Have afew cuttings of Redbud, unknown apple and unknown peach tree in spaghum moss/perlite mix and put the other in the aquaponics bed. Hoping for the best on those. I've never done this before.

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
Keep us posted on that Nepenthes species ... could it possibly be developed into a houseplant?

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
I just put a Nepenthus in my gallery. It's not my plant, I can't grow them. Many years ago I grew two from a spring to fall and when the temperature went to 40 they died. When they were living they looked pretty good. But when I took them apart they had very few roots. Maybe with good roots they might have gotten the cool weather.

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
Today I visited Paul Fisher in El Cajon, whom some of you know as the V.P. of the CRFG. I brought him some extra pitaya cuttings and he gave me a fruit from the Avocado he has developed (patent pending). Paul operates a nursery from his home with some of the best (and unusual) fruit varieties that will produce in southern CA. You can reach him at 619-322-4141.
Here is a picture of 2/3 of the fruit plus seed. The seed weighed in at 0.1 pounds, and the fruit + skin (w/o seed) weighed 0.75 pounds. The fruit is of excellent quality. If the seed produces anything decent, I think I'll call it Paul-son.
